Brittany Force said she expects to test in a Funny Car this season, but the foray into another eliminator will not affect her present Top Fuel approach.

“It’s an idea we have been talking about doing sometime this year,” Brittany confirmed in a press conference on Friday at zMax Dragway. “We haven’t really gotten it all figured out what direction we are going. Right now, I don’t have a sponsor.”

Force said she has been in talks with a potential sponsor, one she and sister Courtney have cultivated together, but isn’t prepared to reveal at this moment.

“We are working on one and were hoping to announce sometime in March,” she said. “It might be a little later. We are still waiting on that.”

Licensing in a Funny Car, Brittany said, doesn’t mean she is following her famous dad John Force’s footsteps, but rather making herself more versatile for the future.

“I’ve always said it was something I would do, hop into a Funny Car and get a license,” said Brittany. “I’ve wanted the feel the difference between the two. For me, Top Fuel is what I love.”

Rest assured, there is no plan to put John out to the pasture any time soon.

“I don’t think he’ll ever get out of the car; he loves it too much,” Brittany said. “If we are out here, he’s going to be in the lane beside us. He loves it too much, and it wouldn’t be the same without him.”

And yes, the dragsters still pique her interest.

“I absolutely love Top Fuel,” Force said.
